Hi all,
About a week ago I asked some questions about changing to from calcuim
cloride to Kalkwasser. A few of you suggested I go for a calcium reactor
instead.
So my question now is how do I decide how big this thing should be if I go
the DIY method.
Single pass or double pass and why one is better ?
TIA,
Paul
